For the SH2 process R* + PhSeSePh -> PhSeR + PhSe*, k = ca. 5 * 107 l mol-1 s-1 at 80 deg C in benzene when R is primary alkyl; with 1-adamantyl radicals this SH2 displacement affords a route to 1-adamantyl phenyl selenide which, on oxidation and pyrolysis of the resultant selenoxide, gives adamantan-1-ol; in contrast the selenoxide from bicyclononan-1-yl phenyl selenide decomposes via bicyclonon-1-ene.
